How to make a pumpkin spice cake using Spice cake and Pumpkin:
Line a slow cooker with parchment paper and grab a large mixing bowl. Mix the spice mix, pumpkin, water, oil, eggs, and pumpkin pie mix until fully combined. Add into your slow cooker and secure a paper towel under the lid of your cooker. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Once it's fully cooked, remove the crock from your slow cooker and allow to cool 10 – 15 minute. Then lift the cake out of the cooker and allow to cool COMPLETELY before frosting.
Don't forget the frosting! The cream cheese frosting on this spice cake really makes it special. Here's how to make the BEST frosting for Pumpkin Spice Cake:
Mix your cream cheese and butter (both softened!) along with the vanilla and powdered sugar until fully combined and fluffy. Once the cake is completely cooled, spread this over the cake.
Top the pumpkin spice cake with chopped walnuts and a drizzle of caramel if you'd like!
